Day of Giving is a 24-hour celebration of the Bronco spirit and the power of giving back starting at 12.01 am (PST) on April 10. Day of Giving is a special opportunity for the SCU community to come together and show support for their favorite departments, programs, student organizations, and teams. You choose where you want your gift to have an impact, and special challenges mean that your gift can go further and do more good than at any other time of the year.

Anyone can get involved with SCU's Day of Giving! You will make an impact simply by donating. If you wish to be more involved, sign up to be an Ambassador.
